There is always a celebration happening in Las Vegas — what other city can say that? Whether it’s Friday or Monday, a bachelorette party or bottle service for the sake of bottle service, every occasion is a special occasion in Las Vegas. While there is something truly magical about a place where everyone is trying to have the best night of their life, the inherent spectacle of it all poses a challenge when attempting to really celebrate. This begs the question: When you are attempting to commemorate a truly special occasion in Las Vegas, how do you do it? The answer: by choosing the perfect restaurant. From glittering Strip venues with views as opulent as the food to intimate neighborhood spots meant for shared plates and warm conversation, there is no standard formula for the ideal special occasion restaurant in Las Vegas. Whether your celebration takes the form of cocktails, twinkling lights, and no dress code in the Arts District or the kind of steakhouse worth putting on an evening gown for, consider these restaurants for your next special occasion in Las Vegas.

About the restaurant
On a warm desert evening, Jammyland’s expansive patio is the ideal destination for the kind of laid-back celebration with friends that stretches late into the night. Take a seat beneath the canopy of lights, marvel at the colorful murals on the walls, and enjoy Caribbean-influenced fare (the 24-hour jerk wings are especially popular) and tropical cocktails. Located in the heart of the Arts District — a vibrant neighborhood filled with galleries, boutiques, and antiques — this welcoming spot will make you feel like a Las Vegas local if you aren’t one already.

Everything was delicious! Bartender Jesse is a great conservationist and makes a fantastic cocktail. So glad we booked a stop here, we’ll definitely be back. The wings were great and so was the masala. Just the right amount of heat with lots of flavour! Thanks!

About the restaurant
Stepping into the glitzy world of Cosmopolitan Las Vegas for your next special occasion is a great start — but where to dine once you’ve arrived? David Chang’s Momofuku fits the bill with creative menu items designed to be shared. Start with shrimp, pork belly, or shiitake buns for the table, then order some duck confit ramen. Feel like splurging? The candied walnut lobster and shrimp, which comes with six lobster tails and 18 tempura shrimp, serves four and is 100 percent celebration-worthy.

Mushroom ramen was really good. Got the chicken and caviar bun also which was delicious. Started with the kinilaw fluke would highly recommend. Staff was super attentive but cleared dishes really fast so felt a little rushed eating. They also have milk bar outside so a great option for dessert too. Bathroom situation was a little annoying with two only so always was a wait.

About the restaurant
Located 100 feet above the Las Vegas Strip inside the replica Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas, this French fine dining restaurant offers an unforgettable view of the soaring Fountains of Bellagio and a menu to match. From the swoon-worthy bread selection at the start of the meal to the French classics of foie gras, lobster bisque, caviar, beef Wellington, and crème brûlée, the romantic restaurant is the site of pure decadence. Book a window table or add on a glass of Dom Pérignon to make your special occasion exactly that.

Honestly it was the best meal of my life. From the food, to the service, the view, if you pay for the window which I personally believe was worth it, overlooking the formula 1 track (temporary) and bellagio fountains, the luxurious design of the restaurant, the presentation from getting off the elevator to being seated at your table, just exceeded my already high expectations for the place. It's worth the price, and I believe actually a great value for an unforgettable experience. Thank you to everyone that works there. I appreciate you.

As her star continues to rise, The Black Sheep, located in southwest Las Vegas, keeps dazzling with American-Vietnamese food and a sleek, monochromatic interior design. Not to be missed: The Black Sheep’s take on Nashville hot chicken, served on honey toast.

Outstanding experience. Feels elegant casual, and at the same time like family dining with such personalized service that chef Tran filled our water glasses, was gracious to take a minute for a conversation, and on the way out was behind the bar mixing drinks. Not JUST palette pleasing. Heart warming.

Celebrate your next special occasion with an evening that is part restaurant, part party. The Bellagio’s Mayfair Supper Club is a retro-glamorous supper club known for its over-the-top presentations and live entertainment. Savor wagyu hand rolls decorated with real gold and lobster thermidor with cognac cream while jazz singers croon and dancers weave throughout the room.

Our experience was turned around by the manager. We were immediately sat down and serviced. However, the server assigned to us wasn’t the friendliest. When our food came out one of my friend’s steak was cooked incorrectly, rather than apologizing and fixing it, she decided to blame her for ordering the wrong steak and ask several other questions. She walked by and threw a flower on our table and walked away without saying anything. When we paid she stated that my friend’s cocktail was taken care of but we were charged for it. The manager came to speak to us. He was very personable, he sent us a free desert and he immediately apologized about the steak coming back out wrong for a SECOND time. He went above and beyond, he even offered to cook the steak himself. If it wasn’t for him this place would’ve gotten a one star.

About the restaurant
It’s easy to see why so many people get engaged at Top of the World at The Strat. Nestled in the SkyPod at the top of the tallest building in Las Vegas, this fine-dining restaurant rotates 360 degrees every 80 minutes, offering sweeping views of the Strip, Downtown, and the sun setting on the rosy desert cliffs in the distance. Book a reservation, dress nicely, and enjoy classic American fine-dining fare including steak, ahi tuna, crab legs, and lamb. The cocktail list is also not to be missed here.

The Top Of the World at the STRAT was one of the best meals I've had overall. The short ribs were tender, and full of flavored, the shaved Brussels Sprout salad was crisp and fresh with the perfect level of cheese and dressing, the ribeye steak was fantastic, tender, and delicious. I can say it has been the best meal so far I've had in Vegas. The view at sunset is spectacular and worth getting there at 4:00pm in late November to see the sun set over the mountains. The service was perfect.

Desert Shores
About the restaurant
Head west of the Strip to Desert Shores and linger over an open-air dinner or brunch along the shores of Lake Jacqueline at Americana. Chef Stephen Blandino’s European-influenced menu includes fresh fare that fits the alfresco setting — think grilled Hawaiian swordfish with baby fennel and a bottle of wine for a romantic dinner or charcuterie and sangria for brunch. The twinkling lights and charming lake views make this a top choice for a relaxing, serene celebration.

About the restaurant
A giant celebration deserves a giant meatball — at least, that’s the logic at LAVO at The Palazzo. The Italian restaurant and adjoining lounge from the Tao Group is known for both its aforementioned massive meatball and its raucous, endless brunch that includes fettuccine alfredo in a parmesan wheel, brick oven-cooked salmon with garlic butter, wagyu burgers with bacon and heirloom tomatoes, and a chocolate fountain with fruit for dessert. A Stripside setting and bottomless Aperol spritzes sweeten the deal.

Food was amazing especially for its portion. We shared the meatball and all got our own entres and family style ate. The staff was amazing, and tried to connect to you further than on a greeting basis. Would 100% recommend.

An architectural wonder featuring an 80-foot modern take on a treehouse, Mastro’s Ocean Club at City Center serves fresh seafood including oysters on the half shell, sushi, New Zealand king salmon, and bigeye tuna tartare. The menu also includes wagyu tomahawk chops and an excellent wine list. Located inside The Shops at Crystals — home to luxury stores such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Tom Ford — Mastro’s Ocean Club pairs perfectly with an indulgent day of celebratory shopping.

About the restaurant
This James Beard-nominated Italian restaurant from chef James Trees serves lunch, dinner, and a beautiful weekend brunch in a bright, inviting space. Downtown denizens and visitors who heed the call away from the Strip come here for housemade pasta, charcuterie, warm sourdough bread with burrata and sea salt, creative cocktails, and a killer Italian wine list. Lively and upscale without any pretension, Esther’s Kitchen is the charming neighborhood locale you’ll fall in love with whether you’re celebrating an anniversary or reuniting with old friends.

This is an excellent restaurant! Our server was friendly and professional, and she was thoroughly knowledgeable about the menu. We had the house made sourdough with anchovy butter, fegatini, and nduja. All were really flavorful. The wagyu carne crudo was also delicious, the pickled chili made it pop. For our mains we tried the casarecce and the fazzoletti. The pasta was perfectly cooked. Both were hearty and had great flavor, but we agree the casarecce was the better dish. We finished with espresso and shared a butterscotch budino. It’s really rich, so one was enough! Overall a wonderful meal with great ambiance.

About the restaurant
Raise a glass to old-fashioned glamour and stunning Fremont Street views from beneath a glass dome at Oscar’s Steakhouse. The Plaza’s flagship restaurant, named after former Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman (who has been known to stop by for a gin martini from time to time), was seen in Martin Scorsese’s 1995 film Casino. It still offers a cinematic experience today. Enjoy a romantic dinner centered around classic Las Vegas menu items such as shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, and prime rib, and then linger in the lounge for a cocktail or two.
